Attention<\/h2>\n\n<p>News does more than tell us what happened.<\/p>\n\n<p>It tells millions of people what deserves their attention.<\/p>\n\n<p>When something is reported repeatedly, people begin thinking about it repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n<p>When something is barely reported, it can remain almost invisible even when it affects daily human life profoundly.<\/p>\n\n<p>So the organization of news is itself a civilization decision.<\/p>\n\n<p>What do we teach people to notice?<\/p>\n\n<p>Where is the danger?<\/p>\n\n<p>Who failed?<\/p>\n\n<p>Who fought?<\/p>\n\n<p>Who lost?<\/p>\n\n<p>What collapsed?<\/p>\n\n<p>Those questions sometimes matter.<\/p>\n\n<p>But Wokumbakia adds another group of questions:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"question-stack\">\n<p>What is growing?<\/p>\n<p>What is improving?<\/p>\n<p>What is multiplying?<\/p>\n<p>What has been solved?<\/p>\n<p>What has become available?<\/p>\n<p>What is working unusually well?<\/p>\n<p>Who discovered something useful?<\/p>\n<p>Where is capability increasing?<\/p>\n<p>What can now be shared?<\/p>\n<p>What can other people learn from?<\/p>\n<p>What can people participate in?<\/p>\n<p>Where did something get better?<\/p>\n<p>Where is abundance?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>That is not merely a change in editorial mood.<\/p>\n\n<p>It changes what civilization considers worthy of collective attention.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"pull\">\n<strong>News should not only tell us where civilization is breaking. It should tell us where civilization is working, growing and becoming more abundant.<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"principle\">\n<strong>Civilization news should tell us more than what money is doing.

manufacturing pleasant stories.<\/p>\n\n<p>The point is different.<\/p>\n\n<p>When a problem occurs, civilization should also be intensely interested in:<\/p>\n\n<div
